If you're an adult or vocational educator, or an experienced professional, with a desire to enhance the literacy and numeracy skills of adults in the workplace or learning environments, the Graduate Diploma of Adult Language, Literacy and Numeracy gives you the knowledge, skills and confidence to become an effective and critically reflective teacher in a technical or vocational area.
As well as developing the skills to teach, assess and evaluate training programs, you'll gain an appreciation of the value of lifelong learning and an understanding of the socio-economic and political context surrounding adult and vocational education. You'll become proficient in the use of technologies and acquire research skills to enhance your professional practice.
Online delivery gives you the freedom to study at a time and place that suits you. If you are working, you'll be able to apply what you learn directly to a professional setting. You can also speed up or slow down your study pace to meet your changing needs.
You'll join a supportive learning community overseen by dedicated teaching staff who are experienced practitioners and researchers in the field of adult and vocational education.
If you decide on a shorter course of study, you can exit this course after the completion of four 8-point subjects with the Graduate Certificate in Adult Language, Literacy and Numeracy. Completion of the graduate diploma provides credit towards Charles Sturt University's Master of Adult and Vocational Education or the Master of Education.
The Graduate Diploma of Adult Language, Literacy and Numeracy equips you to work as a professional teacher of language, literacy and numeracy programs. You will have the skills and knowledge to enhance your students' learning and professional outcomes by more effectively developing the language, literacy and numeracy skills required in their profession. You'll also be qualified to work for providers of adult and vocational education, including TAFE institutes, registered training organisations, community colleges and industry. Upon completion, you could consider furthering your expertise by studying Charles Sturt University's Master of Adult and Vocational Education.
For each 8-point subject you are enrolled in, you should expect to spend 10 to 12 hours per week working on assignments and assigned readings, tutorial assistance, individual or group research/study, forum activity, workplace learning, and attending lectures, intensive schools, or examinations. If you are studying four subjects per session, this is equivalent to a full-time job. The workload for some subjects may vary as a result of approved course design.
You may need to attend an online or on-campus intensive school for certain subjects in this course. These schools usually involve lectures, tutorials and practicals that will give you a deeper understanding of your subject.
